CERATOSTIGMA. Plumbaginacese. 
C. plumbaginoides. Leadwort. China. 
Syn. Plumbago Larpentae. 
CERCIDIPHYLLUM. Trochodendraceae. 
C. japonicum. China and Japan. 
The leaves of the Cercidiphyllum are most 
attractive when they first come out — a light bronze 
in colour. Unfortunately they are rather tender, 
and the cold winds of April and May sometimes 
wither them. Our shrubs are in front of a large 
Willow of Babylon, which throws up the colour 
of the dark leaves. 
CERCIS. Leguminosse. 
**C. chinensis. Chinese Redbud. China. 
C. Siliquastrum. Judas Tree. S. Europe and Orient. 
CEROPEGIA. Asclepiadacese. 
fC. Monteirose. Delagoa Bay. 
|C. Sandersoni. Natal. 
fC. Woodii. S. Africa. 
OESTRUM. Solanacese. 
tC. aurantiacum. Guatemala. 
Experience has proved that this Cestrum needs 
the protection against frost which a glass house 
provides, but that heat is unnecessary. It is not 
hardy enough to stand a winter in the open. 
*C. elegans. Mexico. 
*C. Newelli. 
Grown upon a south wall, C. Newelli has flowered 
during four summers, though partially injured by 
frost in severe weather. It requires a favoured 
position, and protection during the winter. The 
scarlet flowers, which make a good show of colour 
in May and June, are apt to turn to a dull brick-red 
in strong sunshine. 
*C. smithian urn.
